A warning has also been issued to residents asking them to be vigilant after the spate of thefts.

Inspector Nick Butler, of the Mansfield Partnership Hub, said: "It’s important that people make sure their vehicles are not an easy target.

"I met with residents on Tuesday night and they raised concerns about prowlers and vehicles being broken into in the Berry Hill area.

"As a result we targeted the area and changed some officers' shifts to work through the night.

"I’m pleased to say we have had a good result but we will continue with our plans as there are still thieves about at night. We really need everyone to make sure they don’t leave valuables in their vehicles and make sure they are locked.
